Enabling Virtual Care
Realising Integrated Care Series 2021
Virtual care has experienced unpredictable rapid growth across the globe with the onset of Covid-19. The initial response to reduce clinical interventions across all levels of care so that priority for treatment could be afforded to those most impacted by the disease required health and social care systems to swiftly implement, scale and support virtual care options to provide appropriate interventions and continuity of care for all.
The panel will discuss what are the key enablers of virtual care, has the Covid-19 experience of rapid change under immense pressure to a new digital mode of delivery helped or hindered in the world of virtual care, reflect on service user and HCW experiences of virtual care and what the future of health and social care may look like with a population much more familiar with receiving and delivering care virtually.
